About our reporting

Air New Zealand's organisational boundary for sustainability reporting encompasses the companies listed in GHG Inventory 2018 report which incorporate legal entities or facilities over which Air New Zealand has equity share, financial control or operational control over, unless otherwise stated. Air New Zealand's reporting process and emissions classifications are consistent with international protocols and standards.

In developing content for the report, we considered the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Principles for Defining Report Content of Stakeholder Inclusiveness, Sustainability Context, Materiality and Completeness.

To help improve our reporting we engaged with a third-party provider to agree a sample of reported non-financial information in our report to supporting documentation and provide observations and recommendations.

Our purpose at Air New Zealand is to supercharge New Zealand's success socially, environmentally and economically. Our material issues relate to how Air New Zealand delivers on this purpose and creates value for our stakeholders as well as our business.

Each year we identify our material issues based on their potential impact on our business performance and their importance to our stakeholders – including our customers, employees, partners, investors and the communities in which we operate. Our material issues inform our strategic priorities, sustainability approach and reporting.

We engage with a wide range of stakeholders, internally and externally, to identify our material issues. We also consider:
